Alternatively, the program and data may be supplied to the server 10 or the game device 20 from a remote location via the communication network 2.

  In the game system 1 having the above-described configuration, a battle is executed based on the user's game data and the game data of other users. For example, a battle is executed based on the game character data of the user and the game character data of other users. The “game character data” is data related to one or more game characters.

  Below, the game system 1 is demonstrated as an example when the battle | competition (soccer game) is performed based on a user's soccer team data and another user's soccer team data.

  In the game system 1, each user owns his / her soccer team (soccer team data). Each user aims to strengthen his / her soccer team through a battle between his / her soccer team and a soccer team owned by another user.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the top screen displayed on the display unit 27 of the game apparatus 20 when the user accesses the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the top screen 30 includes a team information column 32. Information about the soccer team owned by the user is displayed in the team information column 32.

  In the case of the team information column 32 shown in FIG. 2, the team name, the number of players, and the rating are displayed. The “number of players” indicates the number of player characters belonging to the user's soccer team. In the game system 1, each user's soccer team is graded based on the battle record, and “rating” indicates the grade to which the user's soccer team belongs. Here, 10 grades “1” to “10” are prepared, and each soccer team is described as being assigned to any one of “1” to “10” based on the battle record. .

  Further, the top screen 30 includes a notification column 34. As will be described later, in the game system 1, a user can apply for a match with another user's soccer team. For this reason, a user's soccer team may also apply for a battle from another user. In the notification column 34, the result of a battle performed by applying for a battle from another user is displayed. For example, the battle date, the opponent team name, and the battle result are displayed.

  Further, a tactic setting button 36 is displayed on the top screen 30. The strategy setting button 36 is a button for setting the strategy of the user's soccer team. When the tactics setting button 36 is pressed (selected), a tactics setting screen (not shown) for setting the tactics of the user's soccer team is displayed on the display unit 27. For example, a starting member, formation, strategy, etc. are set on the tactics setting screen.

  In addition, a battle button 38 is displayed on the top screen 30. The battle button 38 is a button for applying a battle to a soccer team of another user. When the battle button 38 is pressed (selected), an opponent selection screen for selecting an opponent is displayed on the display unit 27.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of an opponent selection screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the opponent selection screen 40 includes a list field 42 indicating a list of opponent candidates. In the list field 42, soccer teams of a plurality of other users are displayed as a plurality of opponent candidates. In the list column 42, for example, “team name”, “rating”, and “number of battles” are displayed as information on the opponent candidates. The “number of battles” indicates the number of times the soccer team has played. More specifically, the “number of matches” is the total number of times a soccer team has been selected as an opponent within a recent predetermined period (for example, this week or the last seven days), in other words, a match was applied within the recent predetermined period. Indicates the total number of times.

  For example, in the list column 42, soccer teams belonging to the same or similar rating as the user's soccer team rating are displayed as opponent candidates. The list field 42 shown in FIG. 3 shows a case where the rating of the user's soccer team is “4”. For this reason, in the list field 42 shown in FIG. 3, soccer teams with ratings “3” to “5” are displayed as opponent candidates.

  With reference to the information of each soccer team displayed in the list field 42, the user selects an opponent from a plurality of opponent candidates. Specifically, the user performs a direction instruction operation using the operation unit 26 to change the position of the cursor 44 so that a desired soccer team is pointed to by the cursor 44. When the desired soccer team is pointed to by the cursor 44 (that is, when the desired soccer team is selected), the user performs a determination operation using the operation unit 26. When the determination operation is performed, the soccer team indicated by the cursor 44 (that is, the soccer team in the selected state) is determined as the opponent.

  When the opponent is determined, the soccer team of the user (hereinafter referred to as “user team”) and the soccer team of another user selected as the opponent (hereinafter referred to as “opposition team”). A battle is executed. In this case, a game screen of a soccer game simulating a soccer game between the user team and the opponent team is displayed on the display unit 27.

  In this soccer game, the user aims to win the opponent team operated by the computer by operating the player characters belonging to the user team. In this soccer game, the opponent team (that is, the soccer team of another user selected as the opponent) is not operated by another user, but is operated by a computer instead of the other user. ing. By doing in this way, even if it is a state where other users are not accessing game system 1, it is secured so that a battle with a soccer team of other users can be performed.

  In the above description, it has been described that a battle between a user team operated by a user and an opponent team operated by a computer is executed, but the user team may also be operated by a computer. That is, a battle between a user team operated by a computer and an opponent team operated by a computer may be executed.

  Alternatively, a match result is obtained by executing a relatively simple simulation process (match result determination process) based on team data of the user team and the opponent team without actually performing a match between the user team and the opponent team. May be determined.

  When the battle is completed (that is, when the battle result is confirmed), the battle result screen is displayed on the display unit 27. FIG. 4 shows an example of a battle result screen. As shown in FIG. 4, the battle result screen 50 includes a battle result column 52 showing the battle result.

  When a match between the user team and the opponent team is executed by the user applying for a match with another user's soccer team, a reward is given to the user based on the match result. For example, when the user team wins the opponent team, a reward is given to the user. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, a message 54 relating to a reward given to the user is displayed on the battle result screen 50.

  In the game system 1, points are given to the user as a reward. Here, the “point” serves as a currency in the game, for example. For example, the user can obtain a new player character in exchange for points. Alternatively, the user can obtain game items for strengthening his / her soccer team in exchange for points.

  The “points” are not limited to those that play the role of currency in the game. For example, the “point” may be for improving the ability of the player character. That is, the user may be able to increase the value of the ability parameter of the player character belonging to his / her soccer team by the number of points given.

  Particularly in the game system 1, the amount of points given to the user changes based on the number of battles of the opponent team. Specifically, the amount of points given to the user increases as the number of battles of the opponent team decreases.

The following equation (1) shows an example of a correspondence relationship between the number of battles of the opponent team and the amount of points given to the user. In the following formula (1), “Na” indicates the average number of matches of all the soccer teams in a recent predetermined period (for example, this week or the latest seven days). “No” indicates the number of battles of the opponent team in a recent predetermined period (for example, this week or the latest 7 days). “P” indicates the amount of points given to the user.
P = (Na + 10) / (No + 10) (1)

  According to the game system 1, the smaller the number of battles of the opponent team, the more points are given to the user. The user can be guided to select as

  As described above, in the game system 1, even when the user is not accessing the game system 1, a match with another user's soccer team is executed by applying for a match from another user. Thus, when the user accesses the game system 1, the user can check the battle result in the notification column 34 of the top screen 30. For this reason, in the game system 1, not only the interest of applying for a match to another user's soccer team, but also the interest of confirming the result of a match applied by another user is given to the user. In this regard, the game system 1 is guided to select a soccer team with a small number of battles as an opponent, so that as many users as possible can feel the latter fun. It becomes possible.

  The reward is not limited to “points”. For example, a player character (game character) may be given to the user as a reward. Alternatively, a game item for strengthening the user's soccer team may be given to the user as a reward. When a player character or game item is given as a reward, the smaller the number of battles of the opponent team, the higher the ability, performance, or rarity of the player character or game item given to the user. That's fine. Even in this case, the user can be guided to select a soccer team with a small number of battles as an opponent.

  Hereinafter, a configuration for realizing the functions described above will be described. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks related to the above functions among the functional blocks realized by the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the game system 1 includes a storage unit 60, an opponent candidate presentation unit 62, a battle execution unit 64, a reward determination unit 66, and a reward grant unit 68.

  For example, the storage unit 60 is realized by the database 16. The functional blocks other than the storage unit 60 are realized by the server 10 or the game device 20. For example, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62, the reward determining unit 66, and the reward giving unit 68 are realized by the server 10 (game control device), and the battle execution unit 64 is realized by the game device 20.

  The storage unit 60 will be described. The storage unit 60 stores various data. For example, the memory | storage part 60 (matching number information storage means) memorize | stores the number-of-matching information regarding the frequency | count of a match in correlation with the game data of each user. Further, for example, the storage unit 60 (access count information storage means) stores access count information related to the number of accesses to the game system 1 in association with each user.

  6-10 is a figure for demonstrating an example of the data memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 60. FIG. FIG. 6 shows an example of a user table. Information about each user is registered in the user table. As shown in FIG. 6, the user table includes “user ID”, “user name”, “password”, “point”, and “access history information” fields. The “user ID” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying a user. The “user name” field indicates a user name, and the “password” field indicates a user password.

  The “Points” field indicates the amount of points currently owned by the user. When points are given to the user, the value of the “point” field is increased, and when the user uses (consumes) the point, the value of the “point” field is decreased.

  The “access history information” field indicates information (access history information) related to a user's access history to the game system 1. FIG. 7 shows an example of access history information (access history table). As illustrated in FIG. 7, the access history information indicates a history of the date and time when the user accessed the game system 1. For example, the access history information indicates a history of the date and time when the user accessed a specific screen (for example, the top screen 30). By acquiring the number of records of the access history information, the number of times the user has accessed the game system 1 can be acquired. Therefore, this access history information indicates the number of times the user has accessed the game system 1 (access count information). Instead of the “access history information” field as described above, an “access count information” field indicating the number of times the user has accessed the game system 1 may be provided in the user table.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a soccer team table. As shown in FIG. 8, the soccer team table includes “team ID”, “owning user”, “team name”, “rating”, “tactic information”, “player information”, and “match history information” fields. The “team ID” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying a soccer team. The “owned user” field indicates the user ID of the user who owns the soccer team. The “team name” field indicates a name given to the soccer team.

  As described above, in the game system 1, each user's soccer team is graded according to the performance, and the “rating” field indicates the grade to which the soccer team belongs. The “tactic information” field indicates information on the tactics of the soccer team. For example, information indicating a starting member, formation, and strategy is registered in the “tactic information” field.

  The “player information” field indicates information related to the player characters belonging to the soccer team, and the “match history information” field indicates information related to the match history of the football team (match results made in the past). FIG. 9 shows an example of player information (player table), and FIG. 10 shows an example of battle history information (match history table).

  As shown in FIG. 9, the player information (player table) includes “player ID”, “player name”, “position”, “parameter”, and “individual performance” fields. The “player ID” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying a player character. The “player name” field indicates a name given to the player character, and the “position” field indicates a position the player character is good at. The “parameter” field indicates the value of the ability parameter related to the ability of the player character and the value of the physical condition parameter related to the physical condition of the player character. The “individual performance” field indicates the individual performance of the player character in the battle played in the past.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the match history information (match history table) includes “match opponent”, “match date / time”, “match result”, “score”, “losing points”, and “match type” fields. The “opponent” field indicates the team ID of the opponent team. The “match date” field indicates the date when the match was performed. The “match result” field indicates a match result (win, lose, or draw). The “Score” and “Goal” fields indicate the score and the goal, respectively.

  The “match type” field indicates the match type. For example, a value of “0” or “1” is registered in the “match type” field. The value “0” indicates a battle performed by the user applying for a battle with another user's soccer team. On the other hand, the value “1” indicates a battle performed by applying for a battle from another user (that is, selected as an opponent by the other user).

  By referring to this battle history information and acquiring the number of records whose battle type is “1”, it is possible to acquire the number of times that a match has been applied by another user to the soccer team. For this reason, the battle history information indicates the number of times a battle is requested from another user to the soccer team (match frequency information). Instead of the “match history information” field as described above, a “match count information” field indicating the number of times a match has been applied to the football team from another user may be provided in the football team table. Good.

  The opponent candidate presentation unit 62 will be described. The opponent candidate presentation unit 62 presents game data of a plurality of other users as opponent candidates to the user so that the user can select any one of the game data of the other users as an opponent. . The opponent candidate presenting unit 62 also presents the user with the number-of-match information associated with the game data when the other user's game data is presented to the user as an opponent candidate.

  In the present embodiment, “soccer team data” corresponds to “game data”. That is, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 presents a plurality of other users 'soccer teams as opponent candidates to the user so that the user can select any of the other users' soccer teams as an opponent. To. More specifically, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 transmits the opponent selection screen 40 to the display unit of the game device 20 by transmitting the list of other users' soccer teams to the game device 20 as a list of opponent candidates. 27 is displayed.

  Note that the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 presents the number of battles of the soccer teams of other users presented as opponent candidates to the user. For example, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 determines the number of times a soccer team has applied for a match against a soccer team in a recent predetermined period (for example, this week or the last seven days), that is, the soccer team has played in the recent predetermined period. The number of times selected as the partner is presented as the above “logarithm number”. That is, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 refers to the battle history information (match history table), the number of records in which the “match date” is within the recent predetermined period and the “match type” is “1”. And the number of records is presented as the “number of battles”.

  The opponent candidate presenting unit 62 may present the number of times the soccer team has played in the recent predetermined period as the above “log number”. That is, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 refers to the match history information (match history table), acquires the number of records whose “match date” is within a recent predetermined period, and sets the number of records as the “match count” described above. May be presented as

  Further, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 may present the “log number” in all the previous periods instead of presenting the “log number” in the recent predetermined period.

  The battle execution unit 64 will be described. The battle execution unit 64 executes a battle based on the user's game data and the game data selected as the opponent.

  As described above, in this embodiment, “soccer team data” corresponds to “game data”. The battle execution unit 64 performs a battle between a user team operated by the user (user's soccer team) and an opponent team operated by the computer (a soccer team selected as an opponent) as the user's soccer team data. , Based on the soccer team data selected as the opponent.

  Note that the battle execution unit 64 may execute a battle between the user team and the opponent team by causing the computer to operate both the user team and the opponent team.

  Alternatively, the battle execution unit 64 may execute a battle between a user team operated by a user and an opponent team operated by another user. When performing such a battle | competition, the battle | competition execution part 64 displays the operation data which show the operation content (namely, operation content performed by the other user) performed in the other user's game device 20 of another user. The game is received from the game device 20, and the battle is executed based on the operation contents of both users. In addition, said battle | competition is implemented when both users access the game system 1 at the predetermined time, for example after a user selects another user as an opponent.

  Alternatively, the battle execution unit 64 executes a simple simulation process (match result determination process) based on the user's soccer team data and the football team data selected as the opponent, thereby making the user team and the opponent team. You may make it determine a battle result with.

  The reward determination unit 66 and the reward granting unit 68 will be described. The reward determining unit 66 determines a reward to be given to the user when the battle is executed. The reward granting unit 68 grants the reward determined by the reward determining unit 66 to the user.

  The reward determination unit 66 determines a reward to be given to the user based on the number-of-match information associated with the soccer team selected as the opponent. More specifically, the reward determination unit 66 selects a soccer team with a high number of battles as a battle opponent, when a soccer team with a low number of battles is selected as an opponent. In this case, the reward to be given to the user is determined so as to be higher than the value of the reward given to the user.

  For example, the reward determination unit 66 corresponds to the number-of-plays information of the soccer team selected as the opponent based on the correspondence information about the relation between the condition about the number-of-match information and the reward information about the reward given to the user. Get reward information. And the reward determination part 66 determines the reward provided to a user based on the acquired reward information. In addition, said correspondence information is set so that the value of the reward given to a user becomes higher as the number of battles is smaller.

  For example, points are given to the user as a reward. As described above, the “point” serves as a currency in the game, for example. However, “points” are not limited to those that play the role of currency in the game.

  The reward determining unit 66 in the case of granting points as rewards selects the amount of points given to the user when a soccer team with a small number of matches is selected as the opponent, and a soccer team with a large number of matches as the opponent In such a case, the reward (point amount) to be given to the user is determined so as to be larger than the amount of points given to the user. In this case, for example, the above equation (1) corresponds to the above “correspondence information”.

  Note that the “correspondence information” is not limited to information in a mathematical expression format, and may be information in a table format as shown in FIG. 11, for example. In the correspondence information shown in FIG. 11, “Na” and “No” are the same as in the above formula (1). Also in the correspondence information shown in FIG. 11, the points given to the user increase as the number of matches of the soccer team selected as the opponent decreases.

  The reward given to the user is not limited to points. For example, a player character or a game item (for example, a game item for strengthening a soccer team) may be given to the user as a reward.

  For example, the reward determination unit 66 in a case where a player character is given as a reward, the player character's ability, performance, or rarity given to the user when a soccer team with a small number of matches is selected as an opponent is a match. The reward (player character) to be given to the user is determined so as to be higher than the ability, performance, or rarity of the player character given to the user when a soccer team with a large number of times is selected as the opponent. You can do it.

  Similarly, the reward determination unit 66 in the case of granting a game item as a reward has the ability, performance, or rarity of the game item given to the user when a soccer team with a small number of battles is selected as the opponent. A reward (game item) to be given to the user is determined so as to be higher than the ability, performance, or rarity of the game item given to the user when a soccer team with a large number of matches is selected as the opponent. What should I do?

  Next, processing for realizing the functional blocks described above will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in the game system 1 when the battle button 38 on the top screen 30 is pressed (selected). For example, when the control unit 11 of the server 10 and the control unit 21 of the game apparatus 20 execute the processing shown in FIG. 12 according to the program, the control unit 11 performs the opponent candidate presentation unit 62, the reward determination unit 66, and the reward granting unit. 68, and the control unit 21 functions as the battle execution unit 64.

  When the battle button 38 on the top screen 30 is pressed (selected), the control unit 21 of the game apparatus 20 transmits request data for requesting a list of opponent candidates to the server 10 (S201). This request data includes, for example, the user ID of the user who applies for the battle (that is, the user using the game apparatus 20).

  When the request data is received by the server 10, the control unit 11 (the opponent candidate presentation unit 62) of the server 10 acquires a list of opponent candidates and transmits the list to the game device 20 (S202).

For example, when it is assumed that the user who requests the match is the user X, the control unit 11 refers to the football team table and matches a list of football teams that satisfy both of the following conditions (A1) and (A2). Obtain as a list of opponent candidates.
(A1) The owned user ID is not the user ID of user X.
(A2) The rating difference between the user X and the soccer team is within ± 1.

The control unit 11 acquires the team ID, team name, rating, and number of matches of each soccer team that satisfies both the above conditions (A1) and (A2). For example, when acquiring the number of matches of the soccer team X, the control unit 11 refers to the match history information (match history table) of the football team X, and satisfies the following conditions (B1) and (B2). Get the number of. The control unit 11 may acquire the number of records that satisfy the following condition (B1).
(B1) The match date is within a predetermined period (for example, this week or the last 7 days).
(B2) The battle type is “1”.

  In addition, when there are a predetermined number or more of soccer teams that satisfy both of the above conditions (A1) and (A2), the control unit 11 determines that the soccer team satisfies both of the above conditions (A1) and (A2). A predetermined number of soccer teams may be selected from among them, and a list of the predetermined number of soccer teams may be acquired as a list of opponent candidates.

  When the list of opponent candidates is received by the game apparatus 20, the control unit 21 of the game apparatus 20 displays the opponent selection screen 40 on the display unit 27 (S203). Then, the control unit 21 monitors whether or not the opponent has been selected (S204).

  When the selection of the opponent is completed, the control unit 21 transmits request data for requesting execution of the battle to the server 10 (S205). This request data includes, for example, the user ID of the user who applies for the match and the team ID of the soccer team selected as the opponent.

  When the request data is received by the server 10, the control unit 11 of the server 10 has the soccer team data of the soccer team owned by the user on the side of the match and the soccer team data of the soccer team selected as the opponent. Is transmitted to the game apparatus 20 (S206).

  When the above-described soccer team data is received by the game device 20, the control unit 21 (match execution unit 64) executes a match (S207). That is, the control unit 21 simulates a soccer game between a user team operated by the user (user soccer team) and an opponent team operated by the computer (soccer team selected as the opponent). The played soccer game is executed based on the team data of both teams received in step S206.

  After the execution of the battle is started, the control unit 21 monitors whether or not the battle is completed (S208). When the battle is completed, the control unit 21 transmits battle result data indicating the battle result to the server 10 (S209). When the battle result data is received by the server 10, the control unit 11 (reward determination unit 66) of the server 10 determines the amount of points to be given to the user based on the battle result (S210).

  For example, when the user team wins the opponent team, the control unit 11 acquires the amount of points corresponding to the number of battles of the opponent team based on the above formula (1). And the control part 11 determines this point amount as the amount of the point provided to a user. On the other hand, when the user team does not win the opponent team, the control unit 11 determines that the amount of points to be given to the user is zero.

  After the process of step S210 is executed, the control unit 11 (reward grant unit 68) increases the amount of points owned by the user based on the determination result in step S210 (S211). For example, when the user team wins the opponent team, the control unit 11 increases the amount of points owned by the user by the amount of points determined in step S210. On the other hand, when the user team does not win the opponent team, the amount of points to be given to the user is determined to be zero, so the control unit 11 does not increase the amount of points owned by the user.

  In addition, also when a user team does not win an opponent team, the control part 11 may give a user a point. However, in that case, it is preferable that the amount of points given to the user is reduced as compared with the case where the user team wins the opponent team. Also in this case, it is preferable that the amount of points given to the user increases as the number of battles of the opponent team decreases.

  After the process of step S211 is performed, the control part 11 raises the capability of the player character which belongs to a user team and an opponent team based on a battle result (S212). That is, the control unit 11 increases the value of the ability parameter of the player character belonging to the user team and the opponent team. For example, when the user team wins the opponent team, the degree of increase in the ability parameter of the player character belonging to the user team is set larger than the degree of increase in the ability parameter of the player character belonging to the opponent team. . On the other hand, when the opponent team wins the user team, the degree of increase in the ability parameter of the player character belonging to the opponent team is set larger than the degree of increase in the ability parameter of the player character belonging to the user team. .

  After the processes of steps S210 to S212 are executed, the control unit 11 transmits notification data for notifying the amount of points given to the user to the game device 20 (S213). When the notification data is received by the game device 20, the control unit 21 of the game device 20 displays the battle result screen 50 on the display unit 27 (S214). As shown in FIG. 4, on the battle result screen 50, the battle result is displayed and the amount of points given to the user is notified to the user.

  According to the game system 1 described above, on the opponent selection screen 40, the user can be guided to select a soccer team with a small number of matches as an opponent. In the game system 1, not only the interest of applying for a match to another user's soccer team, but also the interest of confirming the result of a match applied by another user is given to the user. In this regard, according to the game system 1, by trying to select a soccer team with a small number of battles as an opponent, the latter interest is intended to be felt by as many users as possible. Is possible.

  In addition, as a method for preventing a user having a small number of battles compared to other users from occurring, a combination of battles is automatically set so that a user having a small number of battles does not occur compared to other users. However, if this method is adopted, the processing load may become heavy. In this respect, it is not necessary to worry about the processing load in the method adopted in the game system 1 described above.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  [1] For example, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 may present game data with a small number of battles as a candidate for the opponent in preference to game data with a large number of battles.

  Here, “displaying game data with priority over other game data” means, for example, displaying game data in a position that stands out from other game data. For example, when a plurality of game data are displayed according to the display order, “display game data with priority” means that the display order of game data is set higher than the display order of other game data. means.

  For example, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 sets the display order of the soccer teams on the opponent selection screen 40 so that the display order is higher for the soccer team with the smaller number of matches. That is, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 sorts the soccer teams that satisfy both of the above conditions (A1) and (A2) in ascending order of the number of matches (in order from the lowest number of matches to the highest number). The list is displayed in the list field 42 of the opponent selection screen 40.

  In this way, a soccer team with a smaller number of matches is displayed on the upper side in the opponent selection screen 40. That is, a soccer team with a smaller number of matches is displayed at a conspicuous position in the opponent selection screen 40. As a result, it is possible to guide so that a soccer team with a small number of matches is easily selected.

  “Displaying game data with priority over other game data” may mean, for example, displaying game data in a selected state from the beginning. For example, when the display of the opponent selection screen 40 is started, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 may set the soccer team with the smallest number of matches to the selected state. That is, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 may set the initial display position of the cursor 44 or the soccer team with the smallest number of matches so that the cursor 44 points to the soccer team with the smallest number of matches. Even in this case, it is possible to guide the soccer team with a small number of battles so that it can be easily selected.

  [2] Further, for example, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 uses other game data of another user who has accessed the game system 1 as an opponent candidate, and the game of another user who has accessed the game system 1 less frequently. You may make it present with priority over data.

  For example, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 acquires the number of times the user has accessed the game system 1 based on the access history information (access history table) stored in association with the user. Specifically, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 acquires the number of records of access history information (access history table) stored in association with the user as the number of times the user has accessed the game system 1. If there are multiple accesses to the game system 1 within a relatively short predetermined period, these may be regarded as one access.

  The meaning of “display game data with priority over other game data” is the same as in the modification [1] described above.

  In other words, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 sets the display order of the soccer teams on the opponent selection screen 40 so that the display order of the soccer teams of the user with the higher access count is higher. In other words, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 sets the soccer teams that satisfy both of the above conditions (A1) and (A2) in descending order of the number of access by the owning user (from the most frequently accessed to the least). A list formed by sorting is displayed in the list field 42 of the opponent selection screen 40.

  In this way, the soccer team of the user who is accessed more frequently is displayed on the upper side in the opponent selection screen 40. In other words, the soccer team of the user who is accessed more frequently is displayed at a conspicuous position in the opponent selection screen 40. As a result, it is possible to guide the user so that the soccer team of the user who is frequently accessed is easily selected as the opponent.

  As described above, in the game system 1, not only the interest of applying for a match with another user's soccer team, but also the interest of confirming the result of a match applied by another user is given to the user. Yes. In this regard, if the above is performed, the latter interest can be given to a user who accesses the game system 1 more frequently than a user who accesses the game system 1 less frequently.

  In addition, when the display of the opponent selection screen 40 is started, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 displays the most frequently accessed user among the soccer teams of other users presented as the opponent candidates. The soccer team may be set in a selected state. In other words, the opponent candidate presenting unit 62 displays the cursor 44 or the access so that the cursor 44 points to the soccer team of the user who has the highest number of accesses among the soccer teams of other users presented as the opponent candidates. You may make it set the initial display position of the soccer team of the user with the largest number of times.

  Even in this case, it is possible to guide the user to easily select the soccer team of the user who is frequently accessed. As a result, giving the interest of confirming the result of a match applied by another user to a user with a high access count to the game system 1 over a user with a low access count to the game system 1 Is possible.

  [3] Modifications [1] and [2] described above may be combined. For example, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 displays a list formed by sorting soccer teams that satisfy both the above conditions (A1) and (A2) in ascending order of the number of matches and descending order of the number of accesses of the owning user. You may make it display on the list column 42 of the selection screen 40. FIG.

  In this case, “the number of battles” may be the first key for sorting, and “the number of accesses of the owning user” may be the second key for sorting. That is, the soccer teams may be basically sorted in ascending order of the number of matches, and the soccer teams having the same number of matches may be sorted in descending order of the number of accesses by the owning user.

  Alternatively, “the number of accesses of the owning user” may be the first key for sorting, and “the number of battles” may be the second key for sorting. That is, the soccer teams may be basically sorted in descending order of the number of accesses by the owning user, and the soccer teams having the same number of accesses by the owning user may be sorted in ascending order of the number of matches.

  [4] Also, for example, in the game system 1, when the user team plays against the opponent team, the ability of the player characters belonging to the user team increases (see step S212 in FIG. 12). The match result screen 50 may also indicate how the ability of the player characters belonging to the user team has increased.

  Further, when the user team battles with the opponent team, the ability of the player character belonging to the opponent team also increases (see step S212 in FIG. 12). That is, the ability of the player character belonging to the user's soccer team is increased even when the user's soccer team applies for a match from another user and the match is executed. For this reason, you may make it show not only the result of a battle | competition but how the ability of the player character which belongs to a user team rose by the battle | competition in the notification column 34 of the top screen 30. FIG.

  [5] Further, for example, the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 may be realized in the game device 20 (game control device). That is, the control unit 21 of the game apparatus 20 may function as the opponent candidate presentation unit 62 by executing the program. For example, the game device 20 can directly access the database 16, and the control unit 21 (the opponent candidate presentation unit 62) of the game device 20 directly requests the opponent candidate list from the database 16 and obtains the list from the database 16. You may make it do.

  [6] Further, for example, the reward determining unit 66 may be realized in the game device 20 (game control device). That is, the control unit 21 of the game device 20 may function as the reward determination unit 66 by executing the program. For example, the control unit 21 (reward determination unit 66) of the game device 20 determines the amount of points to be given to the user based on the above formula (1) and the number of matches of the soccer team selected as the opponent. It may be determined.

  [7] For example, the reward granting unit 68 may be realized in the game device 20 (game control device). That is, the control unit 21 of the game apparatus 20 may function as the reward granting unit 68 by executing the program. For example, the control unit 21 (reward granting unit 68) may make a direct request to the database 16 to increase the amount of points owned by the user based on the determination result of the reward determining unit 66.

  [8] Further, for example, the battle execution unit 64 may be realized in the server 10. That is, the control unit 11 of the server 10 may function as the battle execution unit 64 by executing the program.

  That is, the control unit 11 (match execution unit 64) may execute a battle between the user team operated by the user and the opponent team operated by the computer. In this case, the control unit 11 receives operation data indicating the content of the operation performed on the game apparatus 20 from the game apparatus 20, updates the game situation data indicating the current game situation based on the operation data, and the game apparatus 20 Data for updating the game screen (match screen) displayed on the display unit 27 is transmitted to the game apparatus 20.

  Alternatively, the control unit 11 (match execution unit 64) may execute a battle between a user team operated by a computer and an opponent team operated by a computer. In this case, for example, the control unit 11 transmits data for displaying a game screen (competition screen) indicating the current game situation on the display unit 27 of the game device 20 to the game device 20.

  Alternatively, the control unit 11 (match execution unit 64) may execute a battle between a user team operated by a user and an opponent team operated by another user. In this case, for example, the control unit 11 receives operation data indicating the operation content performed on the game device 20 of each user from each game device 20, and based on the operation data, game status data indicating the current game status. Data for updating and updating the game screen (match screen) displayed on the display unit 27 of each game device 20 is transmitted to each game device 20.

  Alternatively, the control unit 11 (match execution unit 64) executes a simple simulation process (match result determination process) based on the soccer team data of the user team and the soccer team data of the opponent team, so that the user You may make it determine the battle result of a team and an opponent team.

  [9] In the above description, the case where the present invention is applied to a game system that executes a battle based on the soccer team data of the user and the soccer team data of another user has been described. The present invention can also be applied to a game system that executes a game. For example, the present invention can be applied to a game system that executes a battle based on user baseball team data and baseball team data of other users.

  The present invention can also be applied to game systems that execute games other than sports games. The present invention provides a game system that executes a battle based on user game character data (data relating to one or more game characters) and game character data of other users (data relating to one or more game characters). It is possible to apply. For example, the present invention can be applied to a game system that executes a game in which one or more game characters of a user and one or more game characters of another user battle each other.

  Also, for example, in a game system that executes a battle based on user game card data (data relating to one or more game cards) and game card data of other users (data relating to one or more game cards). It is possible to apply the present invention. In other words, the present invention can also be applied to a game system that executes a card game in which a battle is performed using one or more game cards of a user and one or more game cards of another user. . In a game system that executes such a card game, the game card may be given to the user as a reward.

  Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to a game system in which a battle is executed based on user game data and a plurality of other user game data.

  1 game system, 2 communication network, 10 server, 11, 21 control unit, 12, 22 main storage unit, 13, 23 auxiliary storage unit, 14, 24 optical disc drive unit, 15, 25 communication unit, 16 database, 26 operation unit 27 Display section 28 Audio output section 30 Top screen 32 Team information column 34 Notification column 36 Tactical setting button 38 Battle button 40 Opponent selection screen 42 List column 44 Cursor 50 Match result screen 52 battle result column, 54 message, 60 storage unit, 62 opponent candidate presentation unit, 64 battle execution unit, 66 reward determination unit, 68 reward grant unit.
